Just about from birth, most kittens characteristically will want to find something like a litter box in which to relieve themselves.  The preference is not simply passed on from the mother, but is also an instinct to bury their waste and conceal the scents from would-be predators.  While encouraging a kitten to use a litter box is characteristically as effortless as watching for signs of squatting and without delay putting the kitten in the litter, teaching a cat toilet training is much more difficult.

Having a cat that uses the toilet instead of relying on a litter box is optional, although the process can be tedious and inconvenient for the involved humans and felines alike. The important principle is patience and a eagerness to proceed in infinitesimal steps, easing slowly toward the goal.  The primary step is as simple as placing the litter box in the bathroom for numerous weeks, giving the cat time to adjust to the new general site.

As soon as the bathroom is well-known as the new location for the cat to relieve itself, the cat toilet training reaches new levels.  Place the litter box on a box no more than a foot high, and see if the cat accepts the new level without incident or accident.  Cats are not ordinarily shy in expressing their displeasure of litter situation; if the cat goes outside of the box, decrease its height and raise it only six inches.  Over a period of weeks, increase the height of the litter box, making certain that its supports are sturdy enough not to scare the cat, until the box rests at the elevation of the toilet.

Now the greatest inconvenience comes for the normal human users of the toilet. Start off with the litter box on the closed toilet seat.  Subsequently take away the box and loosely spread see-through plastic wrap on top of the seat, with some litter distributed across it.  This will satisfy the cat that not only is this the appropriate spot to relieve itself, but there is nonetheless a little sand to scratch.  The wrap will not hold up the cat’s weight, nonetheless, necessitating sense of balance.

Teaching a cat toilet training does not need much effort, but does call for time and patience including a willingness to go back a step every time the cat shows signs of discontent with the prompt progression.  The end result can be satisfactorily worth it, however, when the litter box is not a frequent odor and unpleasant task in your house.
